A Chance for Patriotism and Profit.


| Tho cutting down of forests in the South
by the owners of saw mills is opening up
| large tracts of cheap lands, which are
| gradually being turned into farms The
larger portion of these lands will produce
cotton, corn, fruits and Vegetables, and,
where fertilized will make as good crops as
Western lands.
The mill men still bold large tracts from
which the trees have been cut. It would
seem that it would not be a bad plan for
them to form a syndicate for the purpose of
placing at least portion OF their holdings
on the market. Many men in the North
and West would avail themselves of the
opportunity thus afforded to secure homes
in the South where the climate permits
out-of-door work tine whole year, where
crops are certain and whore the rigors of
bleak winters may be escaped.
Last year a wel-todo farmer from North
ern Ohio came TO this section of Georgia and
leased a tract of land as an experiment His
experience has been so satisfactory that he
has decided to sell his farm in Ohio and
spend the remainder of his days here. He
also intends to try to induce a number of his
To the farmers and mechanics of the North
and West the South must look for the in
crease of its white population. The I'M
skilled immigrant from Europe cannot COM
pete with the negro in the lower kinds of
labor, and therefore will not, for the present
Mt least, come South. To the Northern or
Western man, however, who is looking for
cheap lands, and who has the means to estab
lish himself, the South offers inducements I'M
equaed by those of any other country in the
world. For immigrants of this class the
lands are here, but there should be some
organization, so that the lands may he
properly placed before those who would
like to buy them. The MORNING News
knows of no men better able to form such
an organization than the mill and lumber
men of the South. They own the lands, for
which they have no further use, and they
have the capital and business training neces-
sary to make such an undertaking a success.
This question is worthy of their considera-
ton, not only as a matter of patriotism, but
as one of profit.

Everything is now progressing very IA
vorably for the projected railroad connec-
| tions between Thomasville, Ga, and Tai
lahassee and Monticello, Fla. There is TO
reason to doubt that the connections will
| be completed within year Nj. McLendon,
of Townsville, had conference with
! General Manager Haines, of the Savannah,
Florida and Western railway yesterday,
, which was entirely satisfactory The
engineer of the Savannah, Florida
and Western railway viii give
his attention at once TO the fifIc
from Townsville to the Georgia State
line, and 50 soon as the right of way is OBJ
tanned the contracts for grading will be let.
1t can be stated with considerable certainty
that the letting of contracts will not be de-
laycd beyond August l.
From the Georgia State line one branch
will be built to Monticello and another to
Tallahassee. According to the agreement
these branches are to be graded by the
above named towns Monticello has about
$4,000 already in bank to apply to tue
grading of her branch and Tallahassee has
about $40, 900 TO be used for a like purpose
on her branch. OF course these sums will
not he sufficient TO do the work, but no APP
prehension IS felt that either of the towns
will fail TO perform her part Of the agree
ment As soon as they are informed OF the
routes OF their respective lines they will see
to it that the funds are forthcoming to do
the grading.
1t may be that they are little impatient
at the delay, but it is beneficial to them be-
cause it enables the engineer TO give n more
thorough study of the country to be trav-
crsed and so locate the lines as to impose
upon them the least possible burden in the
shape of the cost of grading When the
work is once begun it will doubtless be
pushed forward vigorously.
From present indications it can be safely
predicted that within twelve months trains
will he running from Thomasville to Mont
cello and Tallahassee, and that one of the
finest sections of Florida, which has
been, in measure, overlooked by
those who have sought homes
in that State, because it lacks the means of
communicating quickly with the markets of
the world, will have excellent railroad ia
cilities, and will rival other and better
known parts OF the State in its attractions
for settlers II is not too much to say that
the proposed roads will have tributary to
them some of the choicest lands of Florida,
and that Tallahassee and Monticello will
soon be numbered among the most prosper
Gus towns of the South.

'Whiic those who fought and who have so

ment." These words of the President OF the
United States combining the loftiest patriotism
with u sober censure of recent Incorporate

irritation of principles which none dispute and
which are nowhere more heartily and fully
recognized than among those whose defeat

Why Northern Hens Lay Bigger Eggs

From the Ne,o York Evening Sun.

From the Ne,o York Evening Sun
Eggs begin to come from the South in
January" said Dey street dealer land they
run up just like shad and strawberries. A few
come from Texas. There is big money in the
business there if it is developed But it ism t
worked up yet. North Carolina starts in first.
In about four weeks afteryard we get some
from Washington, which come from the Shen-
andoah Valley. Then comes the Eastern shore

After them come Northern Indiana, Minnesota,

most of her eggs are consumed in the interior
markets. After they get through picking.
however, New York dealers send us some fresh

Far West Foreign eggs have been barred out
this season because prices have been better in
England. They took very well where they
could be sold for enough less to make it an OBJ
ject for people to use them"
why are Southern eggs so much STnallerf"
That is because they adhere so much to the
game fowl down there. The difference is not
only in size, but in the quality of the meat The
COchins, Plymouth Rocks, or any other North
ern breeds afford altogether more nutri-
ment in their eggs than the Southern fowl. The
best way to ship is in free cases. with patent di-
vidinG pasteboards unless the shipper is a very

them in barrels packed in cut straw

Signs of Improvement.

To the careful observer, travelling on the
railroads of this State, many changes for
the better are noticeable Comfortable
farm houses are beng built, and in many
instances they are rendered attractive bv
well kept lawns and flower gardens. 1t is
also noticeable that more attention is being
given to vegetable gardens. Better barns
and other outbuildings are being erected
which fact indicates that more care is being
given to stock, and to protecting hay and
grain from the weather
These evidences of improvement in the
country are gratifying. They show that
the spirit of progress is not confined TO the
towns. The farmer, as a rule, NAV not he
very prosperous, but it is evident that he is
not going backward or standing still. The
numerous corn fields which are TO be seen
from the car window creates the impression
that more corn has been planted this year
than ever before. If this impression is cor
rect the farmer is beginning TO understand
that diversified crops promise better results
than the one crop system. He sees that the
practice of buying all of his sup
plies is ruinous, and he is gradually
abandoning it. When he reaches the point
of producing ns much corn, wheat, bacon,
etc, as will supply his own wants he will be
much more prosperous than he is at present.
But cotton still remains the chief, and, in
too many instances, the sole reliance of the
farmer. The cotton crop along the rail.
roads looks well, and if it is as promising
away from the lines of travel it will he a
good one The point to which it is desired
TO call attention, however, is that the farm
ING districts Of the State show Improvement
and that all the progress is not in the towns.

Industrial Progress.

The New York Times publishes an extract
from letter written by gentleman who is
interested in an iron company at Admission,
Ala. 1t has a representative character and
will serve as a safe commentary on South
ern industrial affairs.
There was never period in the history of
iron making at Admission, the gentleman
says, when the production was so large and
uniform as during the past four months.
There was demand for all the iron that
could be made, and several thousand tons
ahead were sold. The shipments took every
car the railroads could supply, and not as
many cars as were needed were furnished
Atpresent, notwithstanding iron is selling at
a low price, the two furnaces of the COM
pany are earning over $4,000 a year
Two new coke furnaces are being rapidly
erected. On yearly production OF 5000
tons, which is 5000 tons less
than their estimated capacity, they
will earn net S260,o0), putting
earnings on a basis of the lowest price for
iron reached in the Cincinnati market since
1850. This would bring the minimum
earning capacity of the entire property to
over IL per cent. year.
In such business as the gentleman de-
scribes there is no fictitious boom. The
company does not want to sell out, but is
managing its property as an investment.
This being true, the companys earnings
furnish fair illustration of Southern
progress. 1t is doubtful if any other section
of the country can make such an exhibit.
Whenever there shall be the same progress
in agriculture as there is in industrial
affairs, the South's prosperity will not only
be as great as could be desired, but it will
be permanent
